The intelligence-based operation by the security forces in Khuzdar is a significant development in the sensitive security landscape of the country. Anti-state elements are being tightened during these recent operations. According to security sources, this intelligence-based operation was carried out on the basis of confirmed reports of the presence of Fitnah-ul-Hindustan in Khuzdar area, where 10 terrorists were killed and several others were injured after intense exchange of fire from both sides. The purpose of this action is to reiterate the commitment that there will be no compromise on the security of Pakistan.

On the other hand, Counter Terrorism Department (CTD) conducted another successful operation in Bannu district of Khyber Pakhtunkhwa. According to DPO Bannu, this operation was conducted in Akbar Ali Khan Kala and Sadakhel areas of Tehsil Dumail of Bannu, as a result of which 5 terrorists were killed. The main objective of these operations is to break the network of anti-national elements and to ensure the safety of the lives and properties of civilians.

Impact of these operations on civilians

The rise in intelligence-based operations means that security organizations are now adopting a proactive approach rather than a reactive one. That is, instead of waiting for terrorists to attack, their sanctuaries and networks are already being targeted. For ordinary citizens, this means that security will remain tight with blockades, check posts and searches in various parts of the country. Although this may temporarily delay the movement, these measures are indispensable for long-term peace.

What to look forward to?

Intelligence-based operations are likely to intensify in the border and sensitive districts of Balochistan and Khyber Pakhtunkhwa in the coming weeks. Intelligence sharing is being improved by the government and the military leadership so that the facilitators of terrorists can also be brought to book. Citizens should be on the lookout for suspicious activity or individuals around them and cooperate with law enforcement agencies.
